Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the sacrifices others have made for us. If you have Cisco ūmi, who will you talk to this weekend?

One of my friends plans to ūmi with his grandfather who was in the Merchant Marines during WWII. He loves umi as a way to keep in touch with his grandpa in between visits, and will especially enjoy the call this weekend when they get to bond over old stories.

Of course, Memorial Weekend is also the unofficial kickoff to summer and is typically filled with fun weekends spent outdoors with friends and family. From the National Memorial Day Concert in Washington, DC, to the Indy 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, to camping trips in national parks: what are some of your Memorial Weekend traditions? Tell us in the comments section below.

With the United States Memorial Day approaching, the Cisco Veteran’s Employee Resource Group (VETS ERG) is preparing care packages to send to deployed military service members.

As part of that drive, we assembled a video of Cisco employees saying “Thank you!” to all of our deployed troops. A DVD of the video is being included in the care packages, along with various other “we really appreciate all that you do for us” goodies.

Please join Cisco in thanking all our military service members for their service.
